Queue Full Of Spam

[stanleyjobson2]

Hello,
I have a serious problème with my web server. The queue of Qmail is full of Spam, i've tried to empty it, but after some hours, the queue is full.

I followed instructions in this KB # 766 :

webdispo:~# /var/qmail/bin/qmail-qstat
messages in queue: 793
messages in queue but not yet preprocessed: 0

#2347908

After : # grep 33 /etc/passwd

But The problem is that, the next command don't work, i talk about this commande :
# lsof +r 1 -p `ps axww | grep httpd | grep -v grep | awk ' { if(!str) { str=$1 } else { str=str","$1}}END{print str}'` | grep vhosts | grep php


I have PLESK 8.2.1 and DEBIAN SARGE.


What can i do to solve this problem of SPAM ?

How can I Blacklist the ip's adresses ?

Thanks to you and sorry for my english, i'm french

Greetings:

Note: While typically work with just H-Sphere, H-Sphere uses qmail

Presuming Debian supports iptables (I've worked on various Unix flavors, but Debian is not one of them), then you could do something like:

iptables -I INPUT -s 201.201.120.121 -j DROP

I typically use qmqtool from http://jeremy.kister.net/code/qmqtool/ for cleaning up spam et al.

You didn't have it in your post, but is UID in /etc/passwd as a regular user (you don't have to post the info)?

If yes, then check their web document area for either malware uploaded there via web-based injection attacks; and check for vulnerable applications or scripts for which the hacker may be using.

Thank you.

Side note you probably dont have lsof installed on your system. I dont believe debian sticks that on there by default.

Ive got a (very) rough procedure outlined for identifying the source of spam here:

http://www.atomicorp.com/wiki/index.php/Spam

I,
When i try to find the PHP script that sends mails from my server, i followed this link :

http://kb.swsoft.com/article_22_1711_en.html

But look :

webdispo:~# !/bin/sh(echo X-Additional-Header: $PWD ;cat) | tee -a /var/tmp/mail.send|/var/qmail/bin/sendmail-qmail "$@"
-bash: !/bin/sh(echo X-Additional-Header: $PWD ;cat) | tee -a /var/tmp/mail.send|/var/qmail/bin/sendmail-qmail "$@": event not found

????

I've installed the package LSOF, and when i did :




33 /etc/passwd[/B]

I have :

www-data:x:33:33:www-data:/var/www:/bin/sh

??

 

[atomicturtle]

If you look at the procedure outlined in the wiki entry, this tells you it is coming from an exploitable php application.

Your second problem is you need to create a script from the sw-soft kb article, not paste the output into the shell.

How to create This Script ??

The first command didn't work

 

[stanleyjobson2]

Someone for help me ?

webdispo:/# grep 33 /etc/passwd
www-data:x:33:33:www-data:/var/www:/bin/sh

I found that userid maps to apache. How to find now the script who send the spams ?
